I did replace the caps. After trying out new ceramics, I changed the values to .0015, 0015, and 003. That seems to give a finer adjustment on the high end, and the two low positions weren't much different before.
Anyway, the pops are minimized, and only occur the first time after turning the set on.

Thanks, all. Another bunch of great suggestions!
